Hahah! I messed up - the video wasn't supposed to be out for another 12 hours; I mixed 12AM and 12PM when uploading as a scheduled video... Norwegian problems - we're full on digital (00:00 > 23:59). Consider it early access! I hope you all enjoy it. Also - since last video, the channel passed 50,000 of you. I can't really put a word to it of how much that means to me. It might sound sad to some of you, but this channel is among the most successful things I have ever done, and it has helped me a lot in real life. Thanks for joining my adventures! Enjoy the video. :)
***** when did you check it, out of curiosity? I honestly don't believe you. There are still a few thousand people playing Rs3, but the number of people on servers varies between peak times.
its amazing to see how eoc after all the struggle it went through finally became a playable game, even thou for lower levels it still remains somewhat broken, (mostly being accuracy and armour rating) making it really hard for new comers that have never played it before to get started.
Actually, I have had experiences of being low level in EoC twice and it has been very fun to play as low level both times. Note that one was around second world event so legacy wasn't a thing meaning RS we have now. Infact this current RS is most unfair to low levels imo. Some what in PvM but indecribly so in PvP. The combat level does not mirror EoC properly, reason I liked the 200cb system more because with EoC armor became half the game. I can tell this by my experience. However, this game might be more fair to Legacy players, I don't know because I don't use that system.
Sean All the tutorials have been pretty bad with that, honestly. The only good one that actually taught the player about the game was the original one.
This is exactly what I am doing aswell, I love Osrs however the community and the friends I have made in rs3 are way better then is osrs, which is why I believe rs3 to be better
I did. I played runescape 2003 to 2006, started playing OS in 2015, got 50m total, quit, then started playing rs3 a few weeks ago and I have to say, rs3 has better fps, graphics, waaaay more content and an actual combat system
Think about it.. If it wasent for the worst update to ever hit runescape. We would of never gotten OSRS. Which somehow..makes EoC..the best update of all time?
Well, we wouldn't need OSRS if they kept it the way it was. But at the same time I still think OSRS is better than what rs3 could have been without EoC.
I prefer OS over pre-eoc. OS runs much more smoothly than pre-eoc did, imo. I also like the different direction OS is going and because it's much more simplistic (compared to pre-eoc), we can get good updates from a small development team.
Na, i play RS3 from time to time because my brother still plays it and its completly diffrent: 1. For weaker computers or Laptops OS runs smoothly. RS3 has huge loding times. 2. Combat seems to be the same but is diffrent, for example Ranged Armor reduces Meele Accuracy on RS3, Overheadprayers do not block all dmg so Prayerflicking to become invincible is impossible, Monsters like Dragons drop like flys, you cant hit shit with low gear even if your lvl is high, food does not heal fully forexample sharks should heal me 20 butonly heal me 17 or something cause my HP is not max. Switching gear is a pain in the ass and Rannging is a joke compared to meele. Havent tried Flinching or combofood eating on RS3 yet, also you can walk under certain monsters but not on all anymore witch is kind of weired. Whip is shit, Runearomor now needs 50 Defence and so on and so on. 3. Content is completly diffrent now and the games are only similar in some aspects. Seems you do not play both games, to me
Hey! That's me! At 2:19 in the friend chats, I'm "The TomBomb". My friend just messaged me in the game after noticing me username. I haven't recorded an in-game video in awhile, but I do have past videos of mine on that account before eoc.
Xen The only way you can effectively buy experience in rs3 is if there is a decent promo out, and most of the time it will cost you thousands of dollars for you to do anything good
Between 2006scape closing and the OSRS poll there was another popular private server named ProjectRS06 that I played on for a few weeks. Otherwise, I think you hit all of the major points. Great video!
If Jagex never released OSRS myself and most of the people I know online would have left the game for good, destroying friendships and possibly the greatest gaming experience that I was lucky enough to enjoy as a kid. I fully thank and respect jagex for their thoughtfulness in bringing back Old School Runescape and believe that because of this, the company has saved a game that was dieing. Good Job WillMissIt on the vid and thanks Jagex :)
I was one of the IRC moderators on 2006scape! god those were the good old days and I miss them greatly :( But its nice to hear Vault and the other admins get some recognition as if it wasn't for them i dont think 2007scape would ever have come out.
I have a suggestion. You could make a video with the title: If politicians had influence on rs. like for example VAT for the rich players and some campaigning about party hats for everyone :)
when you mentioned Mod Vault... I shivered up, literally so much nostalgia from having nostalgia in the 2006Scape pre-alpha and also the forums. Still prefer 2006Scape and it's community to OSRS now. Btw he started off with RS2007 then RS2006 and then name changed to 2006Scape.
I didn't quite hear it but I think it would be wise to mention that 2006scape did actually have a functioning server under a 'pre alpha' test. I should know, I was first to 99 smithing on it ;>
I remember donating to 2006Scape at the time. Man that game looked amazing. I remember when I first found the website saw it, styled like the old RuneScape site I think I almost cried with nostalgia. It was dodgy, and the leadership behind it was iffy at best, but we got OSRS out of it so it was worth it in the end :3
To be fair EOC could have been proposed a little better, but they saw that in the long run rs would stay alive with eoc, and as a result it has :P, not many people saw this, and i didn't in the beginning tbh
Regicidal made a video a while back suggesting to release the EOC in parts, rather than all at once. Though the concept of a large update is exciting, there was definitely a limit of how big that can be... I do believe EOC was and is better for the game, but I also agree it could have been proposed differently, like you mention.
I believe if they released Legacy and EoC together the riots would have been minimal. It would have given everyone what they wanted, also Legacy would be a good way to slowly learn EoC from the beginning. Legacy came too late I think as most of the players that left RS3 are too stubborn to even try Legacy not to mention EoC.
EoC caused me to leave cold turkey. I don't like hotbar combat in general, and I liked the fact that Runescape had a simpler combat system that didn't require me to have all hands on the keyboard, I tend to multitask Runescape with other things, like work or research or RUclips. I don't find mashing number keys "more engaging" but I have to tolerate it when playing WoW, SWTOR or FFXIV. To me, this is like if Tommy's Burgers (famous for their chili burgers, chili fries, and chili dogs) got rid of their chili and tried to make a knock-off Big Mac. To reason to come to RS3 had ended, and even if they took steps to add legacy options, the game would forever be in a direction I wouldn't support or enjoy.
You forgot about RuneRewind, and project rs06 (different from 2006scape). The idea did not die with that one guy. There was at least a year of quality private oldschool servers after Jagex shutdown 06scape, and before Jagex took action to make osrs.
I don't know if it's just me but I feel you missed a large part about projectRS06, which was essentially the back up 2006scape when 2006scape was taken down. Of course it wasn't essential to your video but I don't think people should forget about it so easily.
If you do not like EOC, go Skiller! xD Awesome OSRS history vid Will.. now if only players would fight this hard for P2W (Pay4exp) with a petition we might get some where!
The best thing to do would be leaving the game. Devs get the data on bad updates by memebership numbers going down. I am afraid the rs3 MTX cause is long lost. I tried to push some criticism to rs3 players about it, but they go 'osrs has bonds osrs has bonds' and over a emotive response, I can't do nothing.
it was online for a month or two. I had a blast. Though the mods did rape my bank before the shutdown. They didn't like me having 3bil and 40 sets of phats. Plus all the smuggled rares. HAHA
Private servers are not necessarily against copyright laws. It's not until they get big and start profiting that it becomes an issue for Jagex. It could easily be argued that it's fair use if they can't prove they're making money off of it.
The only way to safe runescape is to made the member area free for all in order to draw larger amount of new player to this game,and try to make it portable
I kind of feel that "Endgame" feeling again. Most of the players i see around are either Comp or Max. they always talk about (Max life being boring) and i think that RuneScape should use a new playing mode for Maxed players. i don't know maybe with the eastern lands update we can see a (Player owned island or something alike): think about it. we invested a lot of time and money within our Player Owned Houses. so i think maybe creating a player owned island where you can build facilites (needing level 90 in various skills for specific facilities) and sending ships to (Other Player facilities) we can create a new economy, after each trip our ships will need manteinance so we can use our construction skill to repair the ship with less/cheaper materials (like repairing equipment in our P.O.H) so the cheapest repair cost will be at lvl 120. and after each trip we receive eastern currency and trade goods also we can send our ships to that player island again in the Future. also with each voyage to our Friends islands we leave them a certain amount of coins, say 1,000 and if they are not our friends we leave 800 so this mighg encourage the comunity to join togheter. I'm having flashbacks, i used to play A.O.E II back in the day and the "Market" was always some of the coolest thing about the game. i kinda want to implement something alike for eastern lands.
true something... EoC killed pking, is dead already on EoC (besides warbands but that is a 7 hours activity) Legacy revived it only for a little while but now is dying slowly... meh
+Rytis Almanas check out mote plox's RS timeline. Also classic was very PvP oriented. It functioned like PvP world and the only safe place was lumbridge.
Good video. The entire creation of Osrs was a long drama filled road and drama still comes from that path we took. I was friends with So wreck3d before the release of Eoc and up until all the drama happened with him.. i still maintain content. However i have mixed feelings in regards to all of it. I Tried to debate him on the topic of why eoc was good and he was screaming at me and also tried to be little me.. I recorded everything he said in that skype call back then and i still wonder to this day what would have happened if i released what he said. The only other person that knows what So wreck3d said to me was my best friend Brobson. All of what so wreck3d said was extremely damming and i believe if i released what he said it would have prevented him from ever having any ground with the petition as it was prior to it. I don't want to say the things he said because they were extremely toxic and well i still consider So wreck3d a friend dispite our difference in opinion on the topic of the eoc. I taught So wreck3d to Eoc pk back then as well and if the videos are still around you might even here him mention me for teaching him. Like i said The Road that was taken for Osrs Was a Drama filled road. For me and for the community. I was very displeased with the thought of Osrs at the time and Now i have come to grips with it and see the game as an equal. To me we are two sides of the same coin and i consider Osrs players brothers just like i view Rs3 players.
'To me we are two sides of the same coin and i consider Osrs players brothers just like i view Rs3 players.' nice phrase but if you look at the videos, especially community videos such as Chris Archie and SML. Whenever there is RS3 it turns into a riot and even when no RS3 is displayed on the video, it still became a norm to hate players of that version. Even I have had to see hate on my videos that clearly has 'RuneScape 3' in the title. coming to insult me and all the players for no reason. Great example: ' eoc sucks everyone agrees and it and os will die come legacy u comment bullshit on everyones videos even runescape channel and ur not even maxed u talk like u are maxed ur pking vids suck with ur batwing hood and full rune eoc suck a ton cause a one itemer can easy kill a guy in malevolent and I doesn't make any sense no one even pk eoc man theres like 10 ppl on ur fking mini map ' That is from comment section of my video back from 2014 when osrs was fairly new and Legacy was still not a thing for sometime.
Anarchy Time I don't use reddit tbh, so cannot give opinion but I just don't see RUclips to calm down. It already is a big argue to argue site and now extra added salt each sides to RS3 and osrs I don't see it healing anytime soon.
Piraja27th / Mestasi Yeah its still a very big open wound that needs to heal. it stopped bleeding but its still open. On reddit people defend people that use rs3 as examples and don't just flame on them consistantly like here on youtube.
very nice video, in my personal opinion 2006scape played a less important role than shown in this video and it would have been better to just say private servers instead. very nice vid overall was good watch
While I'm glad OSRS came out for the people who want it the community is a bit.... Toxic I can't think of another way to say it it's often to see RS3 hate in comments of OSRS videos
This may be due to the fact that a lot of OSRS players are dedicated hardcore RS players from back in the days. Online communities are where all the toxicity come from; whereas if you play around in-game, most people are generally very nice.
The toxicity is because OSRS players are mad at the fact that the game they knew and love was forcibly changed into a completely different thing for seemingly unjustified or unfulfilled reasons. Of course they're going to lash at the thing that ruined the game for over half the playerbase that they had no say in - especially when they had been playing it for over 10 years and had to completely restart from scratch on an older version that's missing some of the later stuff. It's pretty childish that all the bickering is happening, but EoCers tease and troll OSRSers just as much from what I can see. Both groups do what they can if it's "behind the other's back".
Yeah, the OSRS side is definitely angrier, but I can see why. It's not just out of nowhere or for no reason. And EoC hate/frustration isn't out of nowhere, but I think a lot of that tends to be either hate or frustration at the backlash coming from OSRSers, and the usual pointless hate/frustration whenever the other side points out what they don't like about the other side's combat system which happens on both sides.
all those reddit post which just proves people wrong in retrospect is fucking hilarious, people on reddit are wrong so consistently, its amazing. 5:58 is a great post
In their defense - no one could know the outcome at the time. People had all sorts of opinions, just like the video shows. The reddits were very popular at the time, and is among the only posts still possible to find on the internet that covers this story. :P
I feel I must state, it was so wreck3d who made the petition in ThirdAgeFilm's video, not ThirdAgeFilm. However, this video is still absolutely fantastic. Great job.
ThirdAge made a petition before So Wreck3d did, and had it up for the 12 days prior to So Wreck3d. He replaced his with So Wreck3ds however, due to the major attention the latter one received.
I just wish they would have made a 2011/2012 version instead of 2007 because it just looked better then and i felt more comofortable with this version!
Hahah! I messed up - the video wasn't supposed to be out for another 12 hours; I mixed 12AM and 12PM when uploading as a scheduled video... Norwegian problems - we're full on digital (00:00 > 23:59). Consider it early access! I hope you all enjoy it.
Also - since last video, the channel passed 50,000 of you. I can't really put a word to it of how much that means to me. It might sound sad to some of you, but this channel is among the most successful things I have ever done, and it has helped me a lot in real life. Thanks for joining my adventures!
Enjoy the video. :)
You're forgiven haha
we're very happy to enjoy your content! thanks for always giving us something to enjoy. Also, thanks for all this very fascinating history.
And im one of those donaters.
***** when did you check it, out of curiosity? I honestly don't believe you. There are still a few thousand people playing Rs3, but the number of people on servers varies between peak times.
Nice video! Thanks for the mention :)
Sure thing! Thanks for watching. :)
Fun fact: So Wreck3d used bots to make his content more visible to Jagex.
Think about it... bots brought back 07Scape.
Did proof of that claim ever come out besides clearly edited sound clips?
Yea Wreck3d released a video addressing all accusations, and admitted to botting. He removed the video since then though.
It's sort of like... "War is needed to make peace" or something like that. :P
So wreck3d did/said a lot of bad things at the time. He was my friend and he was extremely aggressive when it came to the topic of osrs/eoc.
Well we got OSRS out of it.
its amazing to see how eoc after all the struggle it went through finally became a playable game, even thou for lower levels it still remains somewhat broken, (mostly being accuracy and armour rating) making it really hard for new comers that have never played it before to get started.
True. It took them a long time, but they eventually made the new combat properly usable. Sucks that pking is out the window, though.
+The Governor thats because you know what to do and reach higher tier in no time
Actually, I have had experiences of being low level in EoC twice and it has been very fun to play as low level both times. Note that one was around second world event so legacy wasn't a thing meaning RS we have now. Infact this current RS is most unfair to low levels imo. Some what in PvM but indecribly so in PvP. The combat level does not mirror EoC properly, reason I liked the 200cb system more because with EoC armor became half the game. I can tell this by my experience.
However, this game might be more fair to Legacy players, I don't know because I don't use that system.
they could always turn on lagecy mode and just play it like pre-eoc
*****
Unfortunately, because of the different scaling of item stats and skills, legacy combat is pre-eoc in concept only.
I was a donator for 2006/2007scape, and I remember all of this. Great job at documenting this!
Cool vid :)
You're cool aswell
Only 2 like what da fuq?
Daddy ;)
+Rytis Almanas did u say daddy?
my best rs times were 2009-2012 ;.; never forget those times
Same
oh man the memories 😂 remember the old wizard tower? old tutotial where u had to posion a red dragon with sir owen
Yeah... "old" tutorial. ;D
that tutorial was cool but didnt really explain anything about rs and how it worked lol
Sean
All the tutorials have been pretty bad with that, honestly. The only good one that actually taught the player about the game was the original one.
i started in oldschool and am slowly going to rs3 bcause i think it has a better community and more content. but i still like oldschool.
bye bye
This is exactly what I am doing aswell, I love Osrs however the community and the friends I have made in rs3 are way better then is osrs, which is why I believe rs3 to be better
You clearly didnt play RS in your childhood..
It was nowhere near as bad back then.
I did. I played runescape 2003 to 2006, started playing OS in 2015, got 50m total, quit, then started playing rs3 a few weeks ago and I have to say, rs3 has better fps, graphics, waaaay more content and an actual combat system
Very entertaining and detailed video. Good job on this one Will! Probably my favourite rs3 youtuber :)
Wow, thank you! Very big words - I appreciate it!
Yes Will Another Video :)
Think about it..
If it wasent for the worst update to ever hit runescape.
We would of never gotten OSRS. Which somehow..makes EoC..the best update of all time?
Well, we wouldn't need OSRS if they kept it the way it was. But at the same time I still think OSRS is better than what rs3 could have been without EoC.

if you want more inception. load up new school runescape turn on legacy mode, bam, osrs new school look.

I haven't recorded an in-game video in awhile, but I do have past videos of mine on that account before eoc.
Willmissit, I love your commentaries. The passion you put into them is beautiful
I'll be honest, I hated EOC at first, but I actually like it now.
Same
Not surprised considering before tame minute or more to kill mithril Dragons it now takes 15 seconds
Xen The only way you can effectively buy experience in rs3 is if there is a decent promo out, and most of the time it will cost you thousands of dollars for you to do anything good
***** Bonds are expensive if you want to do that lmao you fucking idiot
+Xen you cant actually buy exp in rs3 without spending thousands of dollars
Between 2006scape closing and the OSRS poll there was another popular private server named ProjectRS06 that I played on for a few weeks. Otherwise, I think you hit all of the major points. Great video!
Congrats on 50k subs :)
I shed a tear watching this ive played runescape for most of my life when I see the history of my favorite game... feels man
Top video! Thanks for the history lesson, Will!
Thank you! Hope you learned something new!
If Jagex never released OSRS myself and most of the people I know online would have left the game for good, destroying friendships and possibly the greatest gaming experience that I was lucky enough to enjoy as a kid.

But its nice to hear Vault and the other admins get some recognition as if it wasn't for them i dont think 2007scape would ever have come out.
I have a suggestion.
You could make a video with the title: If politicians had influence on rs.
like for example VAT for the rich players and some campaigning about party hats for everyone :)
Great video, I remember every step of this happening
Nice video man, thanks for this! :D
I grew up playing 2009-2011 I miss that rs soo much
Really nice video! Looking forward for more of your content :P
I wish I could go back in time and relive the hype of oldschools release
when you mentioned Mod Vault... I shivered up, literally so much nostalgia from having nostalgia in the 2006Scape pre-alpha and also the forums. Still prefer 2006Scape and it's community to OSRS now.
Btw he started off with RS2007 then RS2006 and then name changed to 2006Scape.
Wondering what took you longer; searching all the info or thinking of that splendid ending scene with the sandcastle?
You have no clue how much planning went in to the last one, but nothing I wanted to do worked... So I improvised!
+rswillmissit Rest assured. Your work didnt go unnoticed!
it took me 2 years to like eoc and now I think its dope as far as PVM and slayer goes.
Ur vids are so relaxing. Whether its 07 or Rs3.
It sure is nice to see how well Runescape has recovered from the backlash of 2013.
thanks Will learned a lot I didn't know
That was great, fun to watch.
Wonderful video! Could you maybe discuss how old school runescape has evolved over the past several years to what it is today??
Thank you. Nostalgia.
Great video. Quick quetions, can you make leveling guides for skills that are levelled differently for skillers in oppose to combat users ?
Huh, this reminds me of something.... World of Warcraft is currently in the same situation but at the petition phase....
It will take a major fuckup by Blizzard to get the players pissed off enough for them to release a legacy server.
Not as much, but people are nostalgia hungry for vanilla and wotlk I guess.
3x3 We'll see on around June 15 on the meeting that Blizzard has with Mark Kern and the Nostalrius
+Hurtado Mark Kern went there yesterday.
Gerrit Reetveter Cool thanks for the info lol was asleep when that happened Xd
im a new subscriber but your content is amazing keep up the good work brother love you no homo
I didn't quite hear it but I think it would be wise to mention that 2006scape did actually have a functioning server under a 'pre alpha' test. I should know, I was first to 99 smithing on it ;>
Nice vid man!
i love these videos
me and my cousins use to play this game all the time back in the day lol brings back memories
I remember donating to 2006Scape at the time. Man that game looked amazing. I remember when I first found the website saw it, styled like the old RuneScape site I think I almost cried with nostalgia. It was dodgy, and the leadership behind it was iffy at best, but we got OSRS out of it so it was worth it in the end :3
Yeah buddy!
I remember when they release evolution of combat. They said because of an overwhelming amount of support. Overwhelming my ass.
Happy 50k!
YES KEEP DOING OLD SCHOOL
Nice video I enjoyed :)
Still..
The very best time was definitely on pre-eoc..
Overloads, curses, summoning, DUNGEONEERING..
ahh..yes.. those were the times
LOOL I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PLAYERS WHO WENT TO 2006 SCAPE I LOVED IT OLDSCHOOL 4 LIFE
So nostalgic
You didn't mention when they decided to make it free to play.
oh boohoo
lol.
it's about how the servers came to be, not anything that happened in them.
it still was a mistake
wow the emotions...
During the video I saw Charlie Sheen commented lol
God damn, the music of guthix death at the end of the vid made me remember good old times :3
sick vid man!
0:13, hey there Mod Reach :)
...and good bye Mod Reach 😂
It's hard to believe it's been that long.
Amazing video
how do i get my stats back for rs2 i log in and it takes me to tut island but i log into rs3 and i got all my stuff and stats ..
Man...I remember signing the petition... I also remember when I bought a Black Longsword from a dude while killing goblins lol.
What is the song at 5:27?
So beautifull but cant find it... :'(
"Memories of Guthix"
Awesome! :D Now make a video on February 2013 - Present for Old School : )
The ad for this video was about a RuneScape private server
awesome vid

Aron Kelderman yeah that would have been better
EoC caused me to leave cold turkey.

I don't know if it's just me but I feel you missed a large part about projectRS06, which was essentially the back up 2006scape when 2006scape was taken down. Of course it wasn't essential to your video but I don't think people should forget about it so easily.

I tried to push some criticism to rs3 players about it, but they go 'osrs has bonds osrs has bonds' and over a emotive response, I can't do nothing.
You forgot to mention that Jagex stated since we were close to the 500,000 mark that they would create f2p worlds.
You forgot to mention that 2006scape did infact go online for a few days. The servers were consistently ddos'd but the whole thing wasn't a scam.
it was online for a month or two. I had a blast. Though the mods did rape my bank before the shutdown. They didn't like me having 3bil and 40 sets of phats. Plus all the smuggled rares. HAHA
+Richard Stanley I remember playing the beta when it was only Castle Wars. You could spawn your own items and make own levels. Shit was awesome.
Private servers are not necessarily against copyright laws. It's not until they get big and start profiting that it becomes an issue for Jagex. It could easily be argued that it's fair use if they can't prove they're making money off of it.
I remember the hype for 2007scape and then when it got shut down :(
2006*
love you will
first month of osrs was by far the best
The only way to safe runescape is to made the member area free for all in order to draw larger amount of new player to this game,and try to make it portable
2012 was a dark year for runescape.. haha.. i still love rs3 though.
I agree. I just cant get into osrs because of the time ive spent playing the main game.
Beniffer thats bascially the reason why all rs3 players still playing
Not first but close ;)
Nice vid Will.
Could the RS3 music be any better? omfg this music is BEAUTIFUL
Did you purposely skip the part about 2006scape actually going live?
Did will just diss oldschool at the start?
cool stuff
A shame that the voting poll didn't hit the 500k, the community would be even bigger.
I kind of feel that "Endgame" feeling again. Most of the players i see around are either Comp or Max. they always talk about (Max life being boring) and i think that RuneScape should use a new playing mode for Maxed players. i don't know maybe with the eastern lands update we can see a (Player owned island or something alike): think about it. we invested a lot of time and money within our Player Owned Houses. so i think maybe creating a player owned island where you can build facilites (needing level 90 in various skills for specific facilities) and sending ships to (Other Player facilities) we can create a new economy, after each trip our ships will need manteinance so we can use our construction skill to repair the ship with less/cheaper materials (like repairing equipment in our P.O.H) so the cheapest repair cost will be at lvl 120. and after each trip we receive eastern currency and trade goods also we can send our ships to that player island again in the Future. also with each voyage to our Friends islands we leave them a certain amount of coins, say 1,000 and if they are not our friends we leave 800 so this mighg encourage the comunity to join togheter.
I'm having flashbacks, i used to play A.O.E II back in the day and the "Market" was always some of the coolest thing about the game. i kinda want to implement something alike for eastern lands.
10th august 2007 was my 14th birthday
RsWillMissIt er du norsk?
true something... EoC killed pking, is dead already on EoC (besides warbands but that is a 7 hours activity)
Legacy revived it only for a little while but now is dying slowly... meh
I don't think that runescape was intended to be a PvP based game?
tbh legacy was a joke
+Rytis Almanas check out mote plox's RS timeline. Also classic was very PvP oriented. It functioned like PvP world and the only safe place was lumbridge.
How come there are only 2-4 pvp worlds then?
The game's focus changes overtime. Developers come and go, types of players come and go, and popularity comes and goes.
It is depressing what happened to 2006scape.
I want pre-eoc
Good video. The entire creation of Osrs was a long drama filled road and drama still comes from that path we took. I was friends with So wreck3d before the release of Eoc and up until all the drama happened with him.. i still maintain content. However i have mixed feelings in regards to all of it.
I Tried to debate him on the topic of why eoc was good and he was screaming at me and also tried to be little me.. I recorded everything he said in that skype call back then and i still wonder to this day what would have happened if i released what he said. The only other person that knows what So wreck3d said to me was my best friend Brobson. All of what so wreck3d said was extremely damming and i believe if i released what he said it would have prevented him from ever having any ground with the petition as it was prior to it. I don't want to say the things he said because they were extremely toxic and well i still consider So wreck3d a friend dispite our difference in opinion on the topic of the eoc.
I taught So wreck3d to Eoc pk back then as well and if the videos are still around you might even here him mention me for teaching him. Like i said The Road that was taken for Osrs Was a Drama filled road. For me and for the community. I was very displeased with the thought of Osrs at the time and Now i have come to grips with it and see the game as an equal. To me we are two sides of the same coin and i consider Osrs players brothers just like i view Rs3 players.
tldr
'To me we are two sides of the same coin and i consider Osrs players brothers just like i view Rs3 players.' nice phrase but if you look at the videos, especially community videos such as Chris Archie and SML. Whenever there is RS3 it turns into a riot and even when no RS3 is displayed on the video, it still became a norm to hate players of that version. Even I have had to see hate on my videos that clearly has 'RuneScape 3' in the title. coming to insult me and all the players for no reason.
Great example:
' eoc sucks everyone agrees and it and os will die come legacy u comment
bullshit on everyones videos even runescape channel and ur not even
maxed u talk like u are maxed ur pking vids suck with ur batwing hood
and full rune eoc suck a ton cause a one itemer can easy kill a guy in
malevolent and I doesn't make any sense no one even pk eoc man theres
like 10 ppl on ur fking mini map '
That is from comment section of my video back from 2014 when osrs was fairly new and Legacy was still not a thing for sometime.
Piraja27th / Mestasi There is still a lot of people that are toxic but on places like reddit we have made some progress
Anarchy Time
I don't use reddit tbh, so cannot give opinion but I just don't see RUclips to calm down. It already is a big argue to argue site and now extra added salt each sides to RS3 and osrs I don't see it healing anytime soon.
Piraja27th / Mestasi Yeah its still a very big open wound that needs to heal. it stopped bleeding but its still open. On reddit people defend people that use rs3 as examples and don't just flame on them consistantly like here on youtube.
very nice video, in my personal opinion 2006scape played a less important role than shown in this video and it would have been better to just say private servers instead. very nice vid overall was good watch
While I'm glad OSRS came out for the people who want it the community is a bit.... Toxic I can't think of another way to say it it's often to see RS3 hate in comments of OSRS videos
This may be due to the fact that a lot of OSRS players are dedicated hardcore RS players from back in the days. Online communities are where all the toxicity come from; whereas if you play around in-game, most people are generally very nice.
I don't know, a lot of the people I see on 07 who spew hate at me for playing RS3 sound completely new.
The toxicity is because OSRS players are mad at the fact that the game they knew and love was forcibly changed into a completely different thing for seemingly unjustified or unfulfilled reasons.
Of course they're going to lash at the thing that ruined the game for over half the playerbase that they had no say in - especially when they had been playing it for over 10 years and had to completely restart from scratch on an older version that's missing some of the later stuff.
It's pretty childish that all the bickering is happening, but EoCers tease and troll OSRSers just as much from what I can see. Both groups do what they can if it's "behind the other's back".
*****
I've definitely seen more hate from the OSRS side.
Yeah, the OSRS side is definitely angrier, but I can see why. It's not just out of nowhere or for no reason.
And EoC hate/frustration isn't out of nowhere, but I think a lot of that tends to be either hate or frustration at the backlash coming from OSRSers,
and the usual pointless hate/frustration whenever the other side points out what they don't like about the other side's combat system which happens on both sides.
I found 5:20 pretty amusing
I miss So Wreck3d :/
all those reddit post which just proves people wrong in retrospect is fucking hilarious, people on reddit are wrong so consistently, its amazing. 5:58 is a great post
In their defense - no one could know the outcome at the time. People had all sorts of opinions, just like the video shows. The reddits were very popular at the time, and is among the only posts still possible to find on the internet that covers this story. :P
I feel I must state, it was so wreck3d who made the petition in ThirdAgeFilm's video, not ThirdAgeFilm. However, this video is still absolutely fantastic. Great job.
ThirdAge made a petition before So Wreck3d did, and had it up for the 12 days prior to So Wreck3d. He replaced his with So Wreck3ds however, due to the major attention the latter one received.
rswillmissit Thank you for that information. I think he should have left the original one up so people like me wouldn't be wrong but it is what it is.
I just wish they would have made a 2011/2012 version instead of 2007 because it just looked better then and i felt more comofortable with this version!
RS3 - PVMscape
OSRS - PVPscape
The game i love!
